Yup.

I can’t tell you about that and wouldn’t want to, but what I can tell you is that they screen out for intelligence — if you score above a certain level on your IQ and aptitude tests they do not let you into the Academy ... because they prize “just following orders” attributes over intelligence, which they’ve…

The only problem with that, is it would encourage police to leave no survivors - so no one appearing in said footage would ever ask.

Well, after he shot, he did say, “do not fucking move” and that is definitely in the police training handbook. When you want to shoot a POC for no reason other than the fact that he is a POC, you say, “fucking”.

Do they even ask potential cops if they have any courage at all?

Well gosh, they would have done the same to a white person. I mean, you can’t reasonably expect a police officer to take any chances with any person he suspects might be armed. Excuse me, what?

To be clear, the police department had access to this video for more than a year.

In order to oWN TeH LiBs, one must first own oneself

perfect reply.

You think it pisses people off to know you spent $55 dollars for something worth 2 bucks and that warns them you’re trash?

It either damages them, or they become one of the bad ones or both. If you want to meet a "good" cop, find one that left after a few years. I made it 3. Most police officers either genuinely want to help their communities (minority of cops) or they are just bullies. Mostly they're the bully type. I left cause you're…

Yeah, but they don’t want him.

I think a lot of it depends on where you are too. Cops in a small town with friendly people may never be exposed to the pressure that a city cop has.  As I said, I’m not anti-cop.  I just think things have swung too far into out of control cops and now it needs to swing back. With camera’s everywhere, I suspect it’s…

I’m white as snow and was once pulled over shortly after smoking some weed in the parking lot of a bar. My eyes were wrecked and I clearly smelled. The officer says, ‘You didn’t come to a complete stop back there. Oh wow, do you have bad allergies?’

That only works when the other cops are cops that aren’t liked that much. For example, the officers in Uniontown, Creola, Cullman and Double Springs aren’t liked much by other law enforcement establishments.

I’ve said it for years:

We can call it magic but magic is usually associated with marvel, wonder, and imagination.

From the article, BTW:

“The cops said that the car’s windows were too darkly tinted and the driver...did not use his signal light.”

Can we just shove Staten Island and all it’s cops out into the Atlantic yet?

If the PD wanted to increase drug and illegal gun arrests 100% they could just pull over and search other cops.
